I know. I know. Should I be looking at cupcakes while I’m trying to fit into my old jeans? The answer is YES – especially if they are s’more cupcakes. Come on now!
Here’s a great recipe for the holiday. Yum. Yum. and Yum.
Ingredients
- 7 whole graham crackers (1 cup/250 mL finely crushed)
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) powdered sugar
- 6 tbsp (90 mL) butter, melted
- 4 bars (1.55 oz or 43 g each) milk chocolate candy, divided
- 12 large marshmallows
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place graham crackers into a large resealable plastic bag. Finely crush into crumbs using Baker’s Roller®;. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in Small Batter Bowl.
Using Small Scoop, place a scoop of crumb mixture in each cup of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan. Press crumbs to form shallow cups with Mini-Tart Shaper. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling.
Meanwhile, break two of the candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.
Cut marshmallows in half crosswise using Professional Shears dipped in cold water. Place one marshmallow half, cut-side down, into each cup. Return to oven 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened.
Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool 15 minutes. Carefully remove cups from pan. Cool completely.
Break remaining candy bars and place in (1-cup/250 mL) Prep Bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute-11/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring every 20 seconds.
Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 minutes-1 hour or until set.

Cook’s Tips:
- Dipping the Professional Shears in cold water before cutting the marshmallows helps minimize sticking.
- The time it takes the chocolate to set varies depending on weather conditions and room temperature. You can refrigerate the cups briefly until the chocolate is set; store them at room temperature.
- Store the cups in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Freezing is not recommended.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, substitute dark chocolate candy bars for the milk chocolate.

My children love cupcakes especially chocolate cupcakes. This is so easy to make. This weekend is my best friend Joe’s birthday and this is what I am planning to give him. LOL. Thanks for the recipe.
